Pictures from our June 2006 visit: Peking University (Beida)

Peking University (Traditional Chinese: 北京大學, Simplified Chinese: 北京大学, pinyin: Běijīng Dàxué), colloquially known in Chinese as Beida (北大, Běidà), was established in 1898, and is one of the oldest universities in China. The Times World University Rankings in 2006 rated Peking University as the best university in Asia, and ranked it 14th in the world.



My brother, Gavin, did his summer study abroad at Peking University this
year--so we were able to check out his dorm room and campus life. And here we are doing our classic China pose.
